Martin Shkreli talks to an HIV positive kid, and actually explains the logic of what he's done. Good watch - explanation starts around 4 mins.

Talk about "flies being attracted to shit" syndrome.

It doesn't matter if this guy Shkreli makes him self publicly approachable, but from most of the video posted you can tell that most of them just talk to him just to "suck him off" and get some brownie points with a multi-millionaire , or to self promote their own agenda as "web bloggers" or w/e bullshit title makes them feel empowered online, while offline they live their insignificant lives doing some menial crap witch will never be noted within the historical context of human history.

Most people trying to berate or back him into a corner approach him with very limited knowledge and a background of biased information provided from the media. One afternoon of reading multiple news sources does not even come close to giving you a full picture of the power structure that follows behind him. Why would anyone assume that "I did my research , from different website and new sources" would stump someone who has been in this industry for so long and acquired a vast sum of experience and knowledge in it. That's just as stupid as me looking up WebMd all day and going into a debate with a senior doctor who has been doing this for 20-30+ years. An iceberg only shows 10% of its mass on top while the true structures 90% is hidden underwater.

Why does anyone even chat with the guy out side of his real friends? This is worse than twitch-whores who suck at almost every game but just appeal to all those followers donating because they have some nice tits and also ....maybe just maybe these white knights are hoping that they could spark something romantically with them.

That is whats fucked with social media in any sense. Simply because a person makes them selves open to public as well as everyone could, they believe a simple "Add me" syndrome would automatically make them friends or at the most close associates.

I would bet money that most of these people who join his chats on a regular just to BS , Shkreli would probably not even know them on the street or wouldn't even consider adding them to his close and personal circle of friends.

most of them probably log off and tuck them selves into bed at night after chatting with him regularly or just once , and rock them selves to sleep saying " I got to speak with a millionaire and we are "friends" now .......my life is great"

No one does their own personal research , they eat whats spoon feed to them and just because hes easily approachable they assume that with their knowledge they can go "toe to toe" with Shkreli who built an empire from scraps and is very intelligent in his line of work and still believe that they can Stump the Trump and make him come to realize his mistakes.

Simple point is , when he raised that price , it was not a personal choice. He is part of a corporation with investors , highly skilled lawyers from their own company and those of the investors themselves and as well the long list of organizations and regulations that follow up behind the decision making process.

Hes just the spokes person at the end of the day for his pharmaceutical company. CEO's and CFO's get replaced at the drop of a hat. The decisions they make or approve are not a personal choice but a collective of all those invested and what shares they own together.

I hate McDonald but I would never spend my time debating the policies of McDonald with Ronald McDonald. Hes just a figure head for a larger collective.

most of the people probably have less friends in real life outside of the internet than they do their "followers" list.

Its fucking sad. Its fucking retarded. Its the current state of the world though at the end of the day so what does it matter though.

when you give everyone a soap box and they end up selling bullshit for their own personal gain, they too end up bullshitting them selves into that belief, even though many don't know what they are talking about.

flies are attracted to shit.....welcome to social media. everyone is losing real friends just to have these false associations with people online who within one week to the next would forget you and turn against you should the community momentum goes against them.

Everyone complains or creates conspiracies on why the "top 1%" are so elite and secretive. Its because of this. When news papers are writing articles at a 6th grade level to sell to consumers its easy to understand that the decision to dumb down these news sources is not based out of convenience but solely because the 99% are retarded sheeple with no valid opinions or knowledge of their own.

We are not living in a time such as depicted in "The school of Athens" painting no matter how vast and expansive knowledge is provided to the masses.

You may hate the 1% or chastise them for their decisions yet while the 99% rely on buzzfeeed and biased news sources or academic journals from unaccredited and authors. They assume a 2 hours YouTube video session equates to years of knowledge that those "elitist" spent years learning, failing , and succeeding in their field.

All of this is fucking retarded. Everyone just wants to either pretend to be his buddy or attack him with irregular concepts and information that come from unaccredited sources or blogs.

If they really wanted to do something benefitial with their time they should speak to financial advisers and regulators in that industry but nnooooooo.... lets all talk to shkreli and maybe i might be the voice of reason that will change his and our world.

Fuck the soap box , Fuck social media, Fuck this allusion that online friends , followers , and what ever else term for this bullshit goes with it. They are not real at the end of the day.

Just lonely people trying to make a simple connection so that they can sell them selves as one thing to disassociate themselves from the sad and menial lives they live.

Online social media is a fantasy.

Even these reddit points. Many assume "oh man , the more points i gain the more credited I am as a voice on this forum". No.... the point system is just a system that enforces everyone here to stop turning this website in a "4chan-eque" version of it and keep everyone in line to posting opinions whether they are theirs or not just to keep everyone else from casting them aside from this community.
